FEEDING LIVESTOCK.
The Most Profitable Method OF Disposing
of Corn and Other Grain.


of Corn and Other Grain.
The best methods for raising corn,
wheat, potatoes, etc., are taken up by
the writer's and discussed Mt length.
Now after we have raised these crops
then we are ut loss how to dispose of
them to derive the most benefit. OF
course there is only one way to dispose
of wheat and potatoes. and that is to
sell them. But the corn crop can be
turned into money in two ways; one is
to sell it, and the other to feed to stock,
and to go back to the subject, does
feeding stock pay? will venture to
say yes, if managed right. l say it
will pay if we get no more than market
price for the corn, rs the benefit of the
manure is u good deal more than some
think it to be, and not only that, but it
is quite chore to haul corn to market,
unless one is close to it.
By my own experience find that it
will as general thing pay to feed corn
to hogs, as l have made tests that show
that hogs at cents per pound will pay
40 cents per bushel for the corn and
these were just common hogs, and if
the hogs had been better stock they
would have paid more than 40 cents for
the corn. Now l have noticed that
hogs and corn are about always on this
basis When corn is from 30 to 40 cents
per bushel, hogs are from to 4 cents
per pound, and such being the case, We
see it will pay to feed corn to hogs, and
might add here that young hogs will
pay better than older ones us it is easier
to put on the first 100 pounds than the
second. The hogs which have tested
weighed from $50 to 200 pounds.
AS have had considerable experi-
ence in feeding cattle say it will pay
market price, if not more, to feed corn
to cattle although l know there have
been thousands of dollars lost in the
cattle business in the last few years,
but they have been carelessly handled,
and think the day is passed for feed
ing cattle out doors with no protection
from the storms, for we can not afford
to keep up the animal heat with feed. l
have tried feeding them in and out Of
the stable and although it takes more
work in the stable think it pays.
Now to make it pay to feed corn to
cattle we must have two or three points
in view: One is If we intend to buy
cattle to feed for market we must buy
them so we shall receive 81 per hun
dred pounds more than we give.
Another Is that we must protect them
from the cold and keep them comfora-
BILE, and another that we must use some
discretion in feeding them; that Is, IL
we expect to put them on grass IN tho
spring we must not feed too much corn
as there will be too great change from
corn u grass and they will not do 80
we'll. .---C Cor, Ohio Farmer.

IL would crash and pour and flow. to find

The rush OF the great black cold waters was
already upon me, the sound Of them in my
ears, the blowing OF the wide dark water
breath. felt myself helpless straw be.
fore them. did not wait an instant. never
thought OF the others. I was not conscious
of any thought at all, but 1 screamed and
turned and dashed out Of the house and
down the lane as fast, as breathlessly, az
could race, through the mire and slush,
and up the narrow road into the wood, feel
Ing still that chill water breath blowing on
me, hearing tho terrible sound OF the rasp-
ing, piling, tumbling, roaring ice, and
never stopped till I fell painting and
Dreathless, and fainting at somebody's
feet, with the warm breath Of great
stag-hound in my face, and was being
lifted In somebody's arms, and saw, when
opened my eyes, by tho light of the young
yellow moon through the wood, that it was
Mark, and he was kissing me with kiss
as long as the space that had separated US.
so, Mark Markr' I cried, ''savo me

to your house, to your dear old high house,
and don't let me ever leave it. o, Mark,

Don't let me go again. Forgive me; love
me. don't see how you can love me.
don't see how you can love anybody so will

but oh you must-you must!"
II am taking you home" said he, as soon
as he had the chance. "Do you suppose I
will let you go agains I shall have to for
give you. What else is there for me to do Z
heard about the freshet was just on
my way to you. We will have the minister
up this very evening, If we can get him.
and you shall never so much as go out Of
my arms again"
And he did. And here I am, perfectly
happy in this fortress, this prison on q
rock, this dungeon-so happy that 1 have
not yet been able to bring my shocked
nerves to the pass even of going down
again to the grass lands, where Mark goes
down and manages every thing for me.
And the freshet2 o, to be sure Why,
you see. that south wind shifted to easterly,
and it froze again that night. And when it
melted, it melted SO gently that the ice
went out of the river without anybody's s
knowing it. And there never was any
freshet.-Harriet Prescott Spo6ord, IN Har-

wed send him all that and surprise him, but
- the letter that come to-day
" says-dont mind me, it hurts, maam, we
might rs well throwed 1t away
1t says ne Is only pauper-and gettin' two
thousand yearl
keepin his high-born dear
He amt been In no mood for wrtin', und he
-. wishes wouldn't spell
yThe name Of the town that he lives in with an e
and q double /.
This is all the word that he sent us, when !
thought he'd surely be
MOST ticsled to death, and would tell us we'd
:. dealt with him generously.
III may be he thinks that the old folks lose feelin'
with teeth and hair
You can say anythin' you've mind to and they
don't Know enough to care.
The young ones can't learn that our wrinkles
don't sorter affect our heart,
They forget when they're lashin' the old horse,
1t feels II 1t don't up and start;
And there isn't much use in alvin when YOU
get like me and joe
Too stif In the joints to run fast for even the
hardest blow.
Did you see my handkerchief layin' round about
here any place?
My spectacles seem kinder foggy and I'd like
to wipe of my face.
Jest take up that Bible there, won't you? and
read Of the prodigal SON
It's comfortin to. know that my boy amt the
only ungrateful one
